MAharashtra constabulary has arrested a adult male in bombay for allegedly plotting the off of his married woman, Geeta Chaudhary, in a calculated act driven by an extramarital affair. The case, which initially appeared to be a suicide, came to light a year and a half later after persistent investigation revealed the chilling details.The incident took place on October 14, 2024, when Geeta, 34, was found hanging from a ceiling fan in her kitchen. The man has been identified as Sakaram.Police initially treated it as an accidental death and registered an Accidental Death Report (ADR).
